The model behind Durable, and how to use it. Start with Why Durable if you are still deciding; the home page presents the same arguments interactively.
| Why Durable | the problem it solves, what it replaces, and when you do not need it |
| Packages | the library, the bundle, the Temporal driver: what to install and when |
| Getting started | installation, Symfony configuration, a first workflow, worker commands |
| Concepts | workflows, activities, replay and backends in plain language |
| Backends | in memory, SQL (DBAL or Illuminate) or Temporal, and what each one supports |
| gRPC in your container image | the php-grpc images, and how to add ext-grpc to yours |
| The dashboard | the run list and the run history, the same panels on every host |
| Durable and the Temporal PHP SDK | what maps to what, and the Rector set that migrates a project |
| Creating a workflow | WorkflowEnvironment, signals, queries, updates, child workflows |
| Creating activities | activity contracts, dependency injection, the typed stub |
| Failures and retries | what the journal records, and why an activity stopped retrying |
| Cancellation | raising cancellation inside the workflow so it can compensate |
| Changing a running workflow | declared change points, so a deploy does not break an execution in flight |
| Nexus operations | calling an operation another team serves, and serving one |
| Options and value objects | retry limits, timeouts, cron schedules, search attributes |
| Testing workflows | unit tests with no server, and the suite that runs against a real one |
| Configuration reference | every durable.yaml key |
| Use cases | one whole thing built end to end: the four-application Nexus demonstration |
| Glossary | the dozen words this guide uses in a precise sense |
